The money hardly matters, but the problem here is that manager Torey Lovullo likes Descalso way too much and gave him 398 plate appearances last season. The result was an 82 OPS+ that was practically identical to his career mark of 81, and mediocre defense at four positions. It'd be for the best if Descalso is treated much more like a 25th man next season. Thu, Nov 2, 2017 09:42:00 PM

Daniel Descalso belted a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Dodgers.

Descalso took advantage of a rare mistake from Yu Darvish, who hung a slider that the second baseman deposited over the right-field wall. It was the second home run of the postseason for Descalso, who also went deep in the Wild Card Game. Unfortunately for the D'Backs, it represented the only run and one of just three hits they had on the night. Tue, Oct 10, 2017 01:46:00 AM

Daniel Descalso is starting at second base and batting seventh for the Diamondbacks in Monday's NLDS Game 3 against the Dodgers.

Brandon Drury started Game 1 versus Clayton Kershaw, but it's been Descalso in there the last two games. The D'Backs also have Jeff Mathis catching, which is the norm when Zack Greinke is on the hill. Their full lineup looks like this: David Peralta LF, Ketel Marte SS, Paul Goldschmidt 1B, J.D. Martinez RF, Jake Lamb 3B, A.J Pollock CF, Descalso 2B, Mathis C. Mon, Oct 9, 2017 04:35:00 PM

Shelby Miller won his arbitration case against the Diamondbacks and will receive a $4.9 million salary in 2018.

Arizona countered at $4.7 million when arbitration figures were exchanged last month. Miller made just four starts for the Diamondbacks in 2017 before having to undergo Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in May. He probably won't return to a major league mound until sometime after the 2018 All-Star break. The 27-year-old is scheduled to become a free agent next winter.
